Training Providers

Pact for Skills: Support to the Transformation of the TVET System in Ghana supports public and private training providers (Technical and Vocational Schools such as Technical Institutes, NVTIs and Polytechnics) in the organization and implementation of the new CBT-courses for apprentices, master crafts persons and artisans. The project additionally trains facilitators in modern training methods and CBT, fosters the introduction of quality school management procedures and supports registration and accreditation processes.

The Ghana TVET Voucher Programme (GTVP), implemented by CTVET and financed through KfW, complements the Pact for Skills: Support to the Transformation of the TVET System. This voucher system finances the training costs and contributes to a successful implementation of the developed courses as part of the collaborative apprenticeship training system.

Currently the The Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) is a training provider with mandate to provide the following:

  1. Training of students in TVET for job creation and economic development
  2. Training of teachers in TVET institutions for effective teaching and learning
  3. Training to equip teachers with skills and competencies to develop the entrepreneurial knowledge and knowhow of students.
  4. Development of linkages with industry, commerce, and the community for effective training of teachers
